They need very lutte sol over them,
which may be done by taking narrow
board and pressing down the soil over
the seed. Tn S will show the rows so
that the space between may be hoed

KEEPING FERTILIZERS IN STOCK.
Team help is too valuable at seeding
time to stop the team and take IA mans
time for IA day to draw load OF
phosphate which might just as well
be drawn before the busy season opens.
Farmers who use phosphate should
make an estimate of the amount they
need or can afford. and draw it early,
so as 10 have ready when needed. If
kept dry il will not deteriorate, but
rather improve by keeping over one
year.
FLOUR IN BRAN.
Experienced feeders have learned
THAT the bran having the largest
amount Of flour in il does not make
the best food for stock, This flour is
mainly starch, and is largely what people
live on, but the shrewd feeder of stock
wants something better for his an mails.
Spring wheat bran has a larger pro-
portion of n trogenous matter than that
from Winter wheat, and though many
do not know the fact it is the most
valuable for stock
HARDY VARIETIES OF PEACHES

SkIM-MILK FOR COWS.

There are many times in butter
diaries where the most profitable use
of skinned milk is to feed it again to
the COW which has given it The milk,
after the cream has been taken from it,
retains the elements that most cows
find deficient i'm Their food With plen-
ty of grain the COW can easily supply
the carbon or fat-forming elements of
her milk. provided she can get the ca
seine and albuminous portions which
the skim milk furnishes. 1t is the drain
of these that hurts cows most, and they
should be supplied. if not in skinned
milk, then some other food equally nu-
tritous.
sALTING cows REGULARLY.
All kinds of stock need salt. but il is
especially necessary for mich cows,
and it is important that 1T be given reg
uarly. If left where they can get it I'M
der shelter, they will only eat what
they need. little almost daily to sup
ply the small percentage of salt found
in milk. As long as calf gets milk
as even part of its d ct, it has no crav-
ing for salt, and probably does not
need any. Regularity in sailing

1t is fair to assume, until he shows to

fishermen are to be maintained
before the commission. The
New England fishermen say that
they care nothing for in-shore fishing.
That is. they see nothing inside the

privileges to Canada. Assuming that
the present scope of The commission is
maintained, can any one affirm that Mr..
Bayard will not take this very position?
The treaty of 1918 forbids American
vessels from taking and curing fish in
Canadian waters except in certain places
specified. but they are allowed to put in
for repairs and supplies. 1t is a fair
question for debate whether the purchase
of bait comes under this provision. and
whether also American fishing Smacks.

an American merchant vessel that

be sure and stand for fair and reasonable
interpretations that VIII put an end

After a hard struggle in the courts the
United States officers have actually come
in possession of a large block of the Nor
mon church property. There was some
miSgiving al first about the appointment
of Marshal Dyer as receiver. but the
lawyers seem to think that he can lie
gally act as United States marshal and
receiver at the same time. The Temple
block in Salt Lake City includes the fa-
nous Mormon tabernacle. assembly hall
and the Mormon temple. Dyer seized
this property last week and left the
buildings in the hands of his deputies
The parsonage, guard-house and histor-
ian's office have also been seized. and
the next step will be TO appropriate the
property held in various parts of Utah
by seventeen Mormon church associa-
tons, or ''stakes of Zion" valued at S210,-
ee9. This practical demonstration of
the feasibility of a receivership will be a
heavy blow to the ehurch-auite as
heavy as the Observation-Disclosures of poly

Wichita bright Wichital
Pearly glass without flaw,
Some poet sings of thee;
Not may cities, hear him say,
Hath been born and reached their day
So quick into grand display,
Like this thy destiny.
How many writers past have sung,
OF cities great, their harps have rung,
And shall not some touch thine?
A lovely city within vale,
With prospects bright to fill her sail,
As she floats upon the gale,
To flattering fortunes fine.
How often we have heard of old,
OF cities great, and rich with gold,
But thou, who shall unfold?
Here's a city, we pray you see,
Who's fame shall ring from sea to sea,
AS being a ''city of destiny"
Bright destiny untold.
Her EAGLE sits high in the air,
And watches with jealous care,
To catch for her her prey;
But there's an eye that's higher still,
No mortal power can change His will,
From His rich goodness He shall fill
Her with prosperity.
The muses. sing, Dear mortal man,
Strike for her while yet you can,
This city Of great renoWn:
Before You is fortune laid,
Come while you can, don't be afraid,
The slothful coward is poorly paid,
o, leave your dried up town"
In all the states there's not place
Where you'll so surely run the race
You've entered for your prize;
The poet sings to you your chance,
The sober prose man tells you glance,
All say, take up your march-advance,
Come quick, sir, and be wise,
To Wichita, bright Wichita;
Sound in practice, sound in law,
She marches straight along;
Believe, or not, just as you please,
You'll see the day, you can with ease,
See sheltered meath her lovely trees,
Two hundred thousand strong.
